Flag of the United States 1847-1848 3-2 aspect ratio (United States) White Coffee Mug

This is the national flag as it flew in 1847 and 1848, drawn with the 3:2 proportions that were common before flag sizes were standardised.

Visual Elements & Composition

Thirteen horizontal stripes alternate between red and white across the full width of the field. In the upper left corner sits the blue canton, which holds the star field in a staggered arrangement of alternating rows. The palette is simple and flat: white takes up the largest share, with a deep red and a navy blue doing the rest. The rectangular layout reads clearly from a distance and works well as a wrap-around image.

Meaning & Symbolism

The thirteen stripes recall the original colonies that founded the nation, while the stars stand for the states united within the federation. This version belongs to a short but eventful stretch of expansion, when new states joined faster than the flag could be redrawn to match. Because flags of this period were often hand-sewn, star placement and stripe widths varied from one maker to the next, which is part of what gives this design its character.

Holding the Story in Your Hand

A mug is turned in the hand as it is drunk from, so the stripes wrap around the cylinder and the canton comes into view as the cup is lifted. The C-handle keeps the image on the side you see first, and the white ceramic gives the red and blue a clean, bright backdrop for the morning cup.

Sturdy white ceramic mugs available in 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml), with a glossy finish and comfortable C-handle — microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from lead- and BPA-free materials.

These mugs are built from durable white ceramic so colors pop cleanly and prints read with strong contrast. A smooth, glossy glaze gives each mug a lively sheen and makes it easy to wipe clean after daily use.

Both sizes feature a classic C-shaped handle that feels natural in the hand; whether you sip slowly or gulp quickly, the grip is steady. Safety-wise, the ceramic is processed to be lead- and BPA-free — suitable for everyday drinking.

  • Material: white ceramic with a glossy glaze for bright, clear prints.
  • Sizes: 11 oz (≈330 ml) and 15 oz (≈440 ml) to suit small and generous pours.
  • Handle: comfortable C-handle for balanced holding and easy lifting.
  • Safety: lead-free and BPA-free for peace of mind with every cup.
  • Finish: glossy surface that highlights saturated inks and smooth detail.

Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a rich hot chocolate — these mugs fit comfortably in most cabinets and cupholders. They’re also a reliable choice for office kitchens where items see frequent use.

  1. Everyday use: safe for hot liquids and daily serving; the wider 15 oz option works great for larger morning routines or extra-steamy drinks.
  2. Office-friendly: the classic profile stacks easily with similar mugs and sits securely on standard saucers and trays.
  3. Gift idea: a practical, well-finished mug is useful and simple to display or wrap for gifting.

Quick note: while the mugs are dishwasher-safe, treating them gently helps keep the print looking fresh longer (see Care tab).

These mugs are rated for microwave and dishwasher use, but small habits extend their life. Run them on the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid high-temperature commercial cycles whenever possible.

For longest-lasting print clarity: hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoid abrasive scouring pads, and don’t let them soak in strong detergents. When microwaving, use short intervals and avoid empty heating.

Available sizes: 11 oz (approximately 330 ml) and 15 oz (approximately 440 ml). The 11 oz is a classic coffee size; the 15 oz gives extra room for cream, froth, or larger servings.

Each mug has a standard-width mouth for easy sipping and cleaning; height and diameter vary slightly between sizes to maintain comfortable proportions and sturdy balance.
